1.Stridor at birth: Congenital laryngeal web.
Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2015;30(2):59-61
Laryngeal web is a rare entity, constituting 5% of all congenital laryngeal lesions, with a reported incidence of 1 in 10,000.1 It usually presents with stridor in childhood, but can be discovered in asymptomatic adults under anesthesia and is associated with failed intubations.2 We present the case of a newborn with stridor and respiratory distress due to laryngeal web.

<p style="text-align: justify;">OBJECTIVE: To present a rare case of post-traumatic recurrent epistaxis in an elderly woman.
METHODS:
Design: Case Report
Setting: Tertiary Private Hospital
Patient: One
RESULT: A 93-year-old woman had multiple admissions for recurrent life threatening nose-bleeding that was not controlled until a post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the infraorbital artery was diagnosed and embolized.
CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm should be considered in such cases, and treatment involving surgeons and interventional radiologists should be initiated to minimize morbidity and mortality.p>
